[01] SPOKESMAN - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCEGovernment Spokesman Stephanos Stephanou has said that discussion on internal aspects of the Cyprus question must progress before an international conference on the international aspects of the problem takes place. This, he explained, would prepare the ground to allow discussion on the international aspects of the problem at an international conference.Stephanou said that given the fact that the Cyprus problem has two fundamental aspects, the domestic and the international aspects, and that domestic aspects will be resolved through bicommunal dialogue, the international aspects of the Cyprus will have to be settled during an international conference in the UN framework, in the presence of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, the EU, the guarantor powers and the Republic of Cyprus. Stephanou said that if the two sides in Cyprus do not come close to a settlement and there is no ground to allow for optimism for the settlement of the internal aspects of the Cyprus problem, the international conference and the international aspects of the Cyprus problem will be up in the air. He pointed out that the two communities in Cyprus also deal with the international aspects and will want to have a say and play a role in solving these aspects.
